We could be more toned against it[edit]

If there's evidence it's literal government propaganda, then the pure-scholar tone might not quite fit. oʇɐʇoԀʇɐϽʎzznℲ (talk/stalk) 20:07, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

It looks like pure Russian puppetry to me from what I've seen. I'd like to see any evidence to the contrary. Bongolian (talk) 20:14, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

A bit difficult to understand.[edit]

I can't really make sense of some of this.

For example the section "Calexit" includes the sentence, "Yes California is itself an astroturf organization, the president of which is Louis J. Marinelli.". Perhaps this, and the rest of the section, makes sense to citizens of the US, but I find it hard to follow.Bob"Life is short and (insert adjective)" 08:19, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

I rewrote some of that section. The acronym was wrong. Hopefully it's better now. Bongolian (talk) 06:33, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
It still seems weird to me. It seems to be suggesting that California would be in danger of being annexed by Russia if it were independent. Maybe it's some kind of joke or maybe I don't understand it.Bob"Life is short and (insert adjective)" 09:17, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
Yes, it is suggesting that. In North America, the Russian Empire included all of Alaska as well as a fort in what is now California. Russian irredentism is ongoing in Europe. Bongolian (talk) 14:54, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
Ok. But this isn't in essay space. It's a RW article. Doesn't the concern that Russia might take control of California sound a little bit absurd in a mainspace article?Bob"Life is short and (insert adjective)" 17:13, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
OK, I'll take it out. Bongolian (talk) 20:07, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
